Lyrics
Are you dreaming about somebody else tonight?
Questioning if the person is fantasizing about someone else at the moment.
Oh, 'cause I don't think I can take it, uh

Are you schemin' on me, tryna take me out for a ride?
Wondering if the person is planning or plotting something against the speaker.
Ooh, then go and say I'm your favorite
Suggesting that if the person is thinking about someone else, they should admit the speaker is their favorite.
I've been down since you left me
Feeling low or depressed since the person left.
But you said that I let you go
Recalling that the person claimed the speaker let them go.
And the whole world is temptin'
Feeling tempted by the world, possibly with various challenges or distractions.
If it's not spinning out of control
Describing a world that seems chaotic or out of control.
Then I don't know what changed lately but, baby
Noticing a recent change in the person's behavior, suggesting they don't have time for the speaker.
You don't ever seem to have the time

Maybe it's the drugs, but I feel like I'm crazy

From the day that I met you

Highlighting the proficiency in pretending despite the underlying uncertainty.
Everything's gonna turn out fine
